Hello again 405th! First of all, let me say thank you to those who have commented in my absence. It has been a very long time since I've posted in the forums, and a lot has happened since then. Back in April, I was offered employment by a start-up aircraft company, and moved from my home...

Beautiful work, it turned out awesome! It looks just like the game version, well done. :cool

It's actually not too bad. The only real problem I have with my armor is my arm movement, specifically across the chest. I could barely take my own helmet off and on or feed myself before I trimmed the arm pieces a little. I can't bend over and touch my toes, but then again, I don't need to. I...

Great job so far on the additions; I'm impressed at how you managed to find accessories like the backpack and thigh pack that so closely resemble the game versions! Looking forward to seeing how you do the .50 cal sniper round holders. Here's some inspiration for you: :cool

This seems to work...(Post #12) Though, if you've already finished pepping the helmet, your best bet is to either attempt to blindly glass the brim (I did that on my first Mark VI helmet, so it is possible), or Rondo it. I had some air pockets in corners and crevices too. I mostly ignored...

Yes, I know that they're supposed to be indented, as I mentioned in the post you quoted. :p For most people, it's not worth the extra hassle to try and trim the visor to fit around them, so they just simply get added on top of the visor. The way Dave's going about his build and the accuracy he's...

Looking good Dave! I also had the same problem with the indented side pieces. When I first came across them, I was confused as to why they were sticking in and not out! I thought I had pepped it wrong, but eventually I came to the same conclusion that you did: they have to be cutout and re-built...

Not at all. It's your armor, and you are free to do whatever you'd like with it. Have at it! And be sure to post photos. :)

These designs exist in full-scale planes, and quite a few have been successfully built. They're even generally considered to be more stable that conventional planes, and more difficult to stall + spin. Tankball, the elevator movement is "backwards" because the horizontal stabilizer is in front...

It's not that big of a deal. I'm sure no one will notice, and anyway, it makes your armor unique. I just thought I'd point it out for future reference. Also, from some of the first photos, the handguards seems quite large comparing them to other armor piece. If you'd like, post a photo of you...

Nice work so far. I hate to break it to you, but that piece that you "fixed" is actually supposed to be sticking IN rather than out. You had it right in the right forearm, the left one (with the vent sticking out) is incorrect. Unfortunately, it seems you did some un-needed Bondo work. It...

This site definitely needs more threads like this, with good photography and explanations, and not blurry photos fishing for compliments! If the amount of effort you're putting into the helmet is any indication, it looks like you're going to have an amazing suit when finished. Keep up the great...
